Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a book in my saddle
Written words to see me through
About a man who was a savior
Died and raised again for me, and you
[Chorus]
It's written, "He'll come down riding on a big white stallion"
With a band of angels hot on His trail
He ain't lookin' for no desperado, no
Just some good cowboys to save from a burning Hell
[Verse 2]
I believe what Jesus told me
That if you ask, you shall receive
And I wanna ride with that band of angels, yes, I do
When the good Lord says it's time for me to leave
[Chorus]
It's written, "He'll come down riding on a big white stallion"
With a band of angels hot on His trail
He ain't lookin' for no desperado, no
Just some good cowboys to save from a burning hell
[Verse 3]
I don't worry 'bout what's behind me
He says the past is in the past
He won't give me what I can't handle, no
'Cause He told me that one day He's coming back
[Chorus]
It's written, "He'll come down riding on a big white stallion"
With a band of angels hot on His trail
He ain't lookin' for no desperado, no
Just some good cowboys to save from a burning Hell
Just some cowboys to save from a burning Hell
